Why upsc is considered the toughest exam in the whole world?

“I have more than 20+ years of teaching experience.”

Dare you, peep in your neighbour's notebook. After all, it is a national-level competitive exam - people tend to be extremely competitive. Tough days…

Immediately after this conversation, I left the institute.

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

And crushed myself and ‘my expectations’ on it.

Anyway!

I prepared for the next 3 years (2016 to 2019)

In case you are wondering, how did my story end?

Nevertheless, I hustled my way through the coaching program.

“I, too, was an aspirant, 20 years back. I have met board toppers, state board toppers, and college toppers with more than 9+ CGPA who prepare for this exam.”

You would have to be on your toes. If your mind drifts apart for even a second, you will lose your chain of thoughts and notes.

I looked around me

If one says, they can help you crack the exam with X AIR, it is difficult to do so.

I had heard rumours going around that the results had been declared.

Your credentials do not matter!

Each class used to be 2.5 hours each. Making it a total of 5 hours of coaching classes daily. The classes used to be 7 days a week.

What caused the decline of the Soprano crew?

There is no mathematical formula where you know that if the inputs are controlled, you can achieve X outcome.

In my head, it was a do-or-die situation for me.

The struggle was real. The teacher would non stop go through his lecture, and explain the concepts/ theory/ ideas etc.

What do you do you do if your motorcycle chain snaps while riding on the highway?

This exam has its own way of humbling you.

And, so I began preparing for the exam with high hopes and determination.

“All of these students are great from an academic point of view. They have always scored 90%+ during their school days, some have even scored 9.6 CGPA and above during their 10th boards.”

I was constantly staring into the ground

2016 I graduated from college. The same year I began preparing for the UPSC.

Appeared for the exam and instantly knew I would not be making it this time!

The batch sizes were huge!

After checking the PDF, I chained my cycle to a lamp post ..

Cut to 2-3 months post prelims. Results were declared.

I was alone in Delhi back then

And, I had not made it.

500 students in each batch. God forbid if you were late to the class - you would have to push your way through the seats. (Old aspirants reading this know which institute I am talking about).

I hurriedly opened the holy PDF.

I did not move for the next 30 minutes..

And, after all, it was a matter of great pride and respect.

This is the very reason you will hear IIT, IIM, AIIMS graduates failing to clear the UPSC.

But, then it hit me hard.

Relatively in a better position after my exam failures, but a void still exists!

All achievers in their own way.

And entered the park.

Cleared multiple of them

I vividly remember that evening.

I said, “Yes! I believe so.”

.

I parked my cycle near one of the parks en route to my PG.

A sense of grief and toil had taken over me.

“But, it is nearly impossible for one to predict who will make it to the ‘holy list’. Yes! I can say that if an aspirant who has done X, Y, and Z can increase their chances of selection, but it is just not enough. There is always a matter of luck (or, probability).”

I write answers on Quora that help UPSC and other government exam aspirants.

Searched for my roll number.

I did not go back to my home.

This exam has an element of probability that no one can predict.

I joined two coaching institutes - One for mains preparation and one for my optional subject.

Also, simultaneously prepared for other exams

It is almost impossible.

2017 June - I appeared for the first time for the UPSC Prelims (after a year-long preparation)

I remember the very next day my coaching institute professor telling me -

All the best!

So, hopefully, my answers help aspirants who need help.

I was cycling from one of my coaching institutes back to my PG.

And, now working as a digital marketing freelancer for international clients.

Dropped them

It lasted approximately 10 months.

Found an empty bench..

“Suryansh, let me tell you something. Do you feel the best of the best students from all over India prepare for this examination?”

Do drop in a message, would be happy to talk.

It was summertime in Delhi. I was allotted a far-off centre in Najafgarh.

So, yes, the UPSC is considered the toughest exam in the world because there is a ‘luck’ factor coupled with subjectivity in the exam process.

I was determined to clear the exam and then go back home.
